Cheap Bolt Hook Cutters

Typically bolt cutters are used primarily by pike and musky fisherman. When a big toothy fish is hooked deep, often the best option for the fish (and you) is to simply cut the hooks and get the fish back in the water with minimum stress. Of course, situations needing cutters may come up with any species, or may even come in handy removing a hook from your hand. Every fisherman should have a good set, and in Canada, Canadian Tire has a nice set of 8 inch bolt cutters for $4.99. Now these may not cut some of the larger size musky hooks, but they cut through a 4/0 hook (I just tried!).

If you live in Canada, near a Canadian Tire, there is not reason you shouldn’t go buy these ASAP. (unless of course you have some cutters)

    Depending on what size hooks you’re cutting, these might not be for you. The cutting tool is fairly soft, meaning you’ll only be able to cut a few 5/0 trebles before the tool needs replacing. If you’re cutting 5/0 hooks or bigger, Knipex is the tool to go with.

    Yeah definitely Bill, this isn’t the tool for a serious muskie fisherman. But at $5 its perfect from any fisherman who uses hooks under 5/0.
